Upcoming Music & Arts Special Events at 1st Unitarian
(February-May)
V-day Reader's Theatre:
A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer by Eve Ensler
Saturday, March 1
It's the 10th anniversary of the V-Day* movement! V-Day Rochester 2007 raised over $4,300 for Rape Crisis Service and the V-Day Spotlight on Women in Conflict Zones. In 2008, V-Day Rochester will again support our local Rape Crisis Service and the V-Day Spotlight on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
This year, the V-Day organization has given us the option of producing a staged reading of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer. First Unitarian has kindly agreed to sponsor this production at the church. We are hoping that this event will kick-start the formation of a Reader's Theatre group.
We are looking for volunteers interested in acting, directing, producing, fundraising, logistics, volunteer coordination, graphic design, and public relations. Contact Micky Markert at mmmarke@earthlink.net, or 442-3336 for more details.
